Ireland Secure Bonus Point Win over Romania

28 September 2015

It's two wins from two for Ireland at the Rugby World Cup.

Ireland maintained their winning start in Pool D as they beat Romania by 44 points to 10.

Simon Zebo had a try disallowed on 15 minutes because his foot was out of bounds when he had handled the ball but Ireland kicked into gear and scored two first half tries thanks to Tommy Bowe and Keith Earls.

Joe Scmidt's side took a little longer to get going in the second period but Earls and Bowe doubled their tallies before substitute Rob Kearney crossed as soon as he entered the game. Chris Henry scored Ireland's final try of the bonus point victory.

Kearney injured a glute muscle just after scoring his try while Earls suffered a knock to the head. Ireland head coach, Joe Schmidt, remains confident both players will be available for the next match against Italy on Sunday.
